Manpage of cpupower is listing wrong sub-commands in "See Also" section. The option for cpupower-idle(1) should actually be cpupower-idle-info(1) and cpupower-idle-set(1). This patch corrects this anomaly. Signed-off-by: Brahadambal Srinivasan <latha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org> |

The cpupower package consists of the following elements:
requirements
On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci). For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version providing cpuid.h is needed. For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
libcpupower
"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
compilation and installation
make su make install
should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in /usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.
THANKS
Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower; to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file; and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of cpupower.
